As an automotived mental exercise and to expand my phraseology, I like to play with words, phrases, dysphemisms, etc..
Some past results of this were;
-
the phrase of “drive by photo-booth” as euphemism for speeding-camera.
-
the term “fwiends/(friends) im blue” as euphemism for the police (common governmental organisation NOT the music group).
-
“automotivated” to fill a gap (at least to my knowledge) in the english lexis to improve expressing myself using fewer words; to share both circumstance and mindset of my word smithing; used synonymously to “I truly do it for no particular reason with no exterior motivation”.
As I have (hopefully successfully) expressed in the prior lines of this text, I truly “have not the slightest” as for the causes of me smithing words.
Though I may speculate.
Language has the grandest potential for elegance.
This to the point where I would claim;
that few, if any beings to (have) exist(-ed), have and will ever even approach utilisation of any language.
Then again, I am a scholar of two, master of none and therefore ignorant to the vast majority of human language potential.
Herewith I put forth the hypothesis that I “word smith” to maximise the distance to the brutish use of language(s).
Post Scriptum:
For a while now I’d thought of “word smithing” as a creation of mine; turns out it has been sighted in the wild, in the way(s) I use the term.
